Welcome to Southwest Colorado and one of the more famous obstacles in the area... the Poughkeepsie Wall. I join up with a good friend (Jason @SwellRunner ) on this trip and seek out redemption from this technical challenge after failing to climb it back in 2017... let's just say the pucker factor was high on this adventure!

I agree, can you imagine being the first non Native entering the land of the Ute; who must have thought the world was coming to an end; and for them and their ways were soon lost-such is manifest destiny! Not trying to be politically correct or offensive, but let us all not forget to thank the original inhabitants of the Ouray area and of this great Nation for having taken such great care of this land way before you and I could wonder in its grandeur! I love your channel, you bring back memories of the places I once explored with my young family so many years ago: of the five of us only two of are alive today, like I said, thank you for taking me along!

We were out there this summer in our Ram as well. I had run Poughkeepsie before in a ‘72 K5 Blazer and in thinking through the Wall, similar to what you mentioned Kevin, I figured the extra wheel base would actually help as long as I could avoid getting high centered. Our Ram has steps on it that are not nerfs, just regular old steps and I almost took them off before our trip because I figured they’d get hit and I wasn’t wrong, but my wife didn’t really care if they got mangled or bumped the rocker as long as she can still use them to get into the truck. Real sliders are in the future though. The suspension on this truck is stock other than a Thuren Fab front sway bar that is a bit less rigid than the OEM and I disconnect the rear bar. No lockers, no lift, no spacers, just slap some 37’s on’em and go. These trucks are pretty incredible. Black Bear is on my list for next time… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNp6hMZiybfQmKM.html

I'd love to have a time machine too. I'd love to go back say 13,000 to 14,000yrs in my area. That's when the Native Americans were very active. Then I'd go out to White Sands and go back some where around 20,000 to 30,000yrs. With what is going on with DNA it becomes more and more mind blowing. Then down to Central and South America and check out how they built all the stone work. Professional stone masons have looked at the blocks and admit they have no idea how they cut the stones and put them in place. If I had the money to buy an Icon, I'd love to do what you are doing.

@standardoverland Жыл бұрын

Cool video. You said that in 2015 you had to "tuck your tail" and winch... I don't think winching should be viewed as a negative or a failure. To me, knowing when it's appropriate to break out the winch is more of a success than breaking a rig due to ego. I've winched over Poughkeepsie Wall before (in a 5th Gen 4Runner, no less) and don't view our run as a "failure" or "tucking our tail" at all. It was about making the right call in the moment, which is always a positive. Others look to your videos for motivation, education, and advice- I'd hate to think someone pushed it a little too far because they heard you say winching was a "tuck your tail" moment. Oh- and your title is a wee bit click-baity... "Rollover?!" You knew Silver wasn't going over ;)

@LifestyleOverland Жыл бұрын

I was also clear in this and many other videos that there is no room for ego. I encouraged Jason to go with his gut and if he attempted it to make a very slow crawl to see how it felt to him. I only meant "tucking tail" in regards to the obstacle. Obviously if you can't climb it without a winch you've not "conquered" it. This was a victory for Silver and a redemptive story that took 7 years of skill development and rig build to take it on. The fact that I still nearly rolled it makes it a cautionary tale that demonstrates to anyone that it doesn't matter how prepared you might be, a rollover can still happen. As the title implied... There's clearly a question mark behind it, not a statement because it did indeed nearly roll over.👍 Another half a degree and she would have flopped, lol.

Running first obstacle is just stupid, (from an overlander's perspective) that trail doesn't even get you anywhere! Silver was almost totaled:( Image if the family had been in there. Would have been another one of those dreaded Colorado 4x4 stories...Also shows that the typical modified 4Runner doesn't rock crawl well..

@LifestyleOverland Жыл бұрын

I explained the story behind this obstacle in the video. It's not something we do often, or intentionally seek out; but it was a fun challenge. As to capabilities, she took every obstacle in a single pass. So, pretty impressive as a mild crawler... IMO. 🤷
